Abstract

Communication is the process of knowingly or unconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally, through which feelings and opinions are expressed in the form of verbal or nonverbal messages. In nonverbal communication the element of speech is not involved in message transmission and in most cases the effect of nonverbal communication is higher than verbal. This type of relationship has different types that are sometimes played by different organs of the body. The use of body language, and especially the language of gaze, has always been important among humans. The importance of this in contemporary poetry is twofold. Has that been true in classical poetry? This article aims to explain the language of gaze in classical Persian and Arabic poetry based on the American school of comparative literature and using a descriptive-analytic method. The findings of this study indicate that whenever looking at a "talking" bed, the message is wisely conveyed while it contains a coded and sign language.
